RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, Floridians are living longer and the cost of
retirement continues to rise; and

WHEREAS, recent data from the Employee Benefit Research
Institute indicates that in the United States less than two-thirds of workers or
their spouses are currently saving for retirement and the actual amount of
retirement savings for workers lags far behind the amount that will be needed to
adequately fund their retirement years; and

WHEREAS, employees have available to them through their
employers, access to defined benefit and defined contribution plans to assist
them in preparing for retirement, yet may not be taking advantage of
employer-sponsored defined contribution plans; and

WHEREAS, all workers, including public and private sector
employees, employees of tax exempt organizations, and self employed individuals
can benefit from increased awareness of the need to save adequate funds for
retirement and the availability of preferred savings to assist them in saving
for retirement.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Governor and Cabinet
of the State of Florida do hereby declare the week of October 19-25, 2008, as

NATIONAL SAVE FOR RETIREMENT WEEK

in Florida and encourage citizens to support the goals and ideals of this week.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Governor and Cabinet of the
State of Florida support the idea of raising public awareness of the importance
of saving adequately for retirement.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF the Governor and Cabinet of the
State of Florida have hereunto subscribed their names and have caused the
Official Seal of the State of Florida to be hereunto affixed in the City of
Tallahassee on this 14th day of October, 2008.
